I think you can try to use a custom source to do that although the one of the kafka sources is down the operator is also running(just do nothing). The only trouble is that you need to manage the checkpoint and something else yourself. But the good news is that you can copy the implementation of existing kafka source and change a little code conveniently.

The problem we are facing is when one of the kafka's is down, the flink job starts restarting. Is there anyway for flink to pause processing of the kafka which is down, and yet continue processing from other sources? Cheers, Barisa
